Overview
The Western White Clematis (Clematis ligusticifolia) is a vigorous, climbing perennial reaching heights up to 20 feet. Prized for its profusion of small, white, fragrant flowers, it blooms late spring through summer. This deciduous vine flourishes in USDA zones 3-9, preferring well-drained soils and partial to full sun. Ideal for trellises and fences, this native adds a delicate, ethereal quality to the garden with its feathery seed heads post-bloom.
